ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਰਾਮੁ ਰਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਫਿਰੈ ਰਾਮੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥

raam raam karataa sabh jag firai raam na paaeaa jaae |

The entire world roams around, chanting, "Raam, Raam, Lord, Lord", but the Lord cannot be obtained like this.

ਅਗਮੁ ਅਗੋਚਰੁ ਅਤਿ ਵਡਾ ਅਤੁਲੁ ਨ ਤੁਲਿਆ ਜਾਇ ॥

agam agochar at vaddaa atul na tuliaa jaae |

He is inaccessible, unfathomable and so very great; He is unweighable, and cannot be weighed.

ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਈਆ ਕਿਤੈ ਨ ਲਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥

keemat kinai na paaeea kitai na leaa jaae |

No one can evaluate Him; He cannot be purchased at any price.

ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਭੇਦਿਆ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥

gur kai sabad bhediaa in bidh vasiaa man aae |

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, His mystery is known; in this way, He comes to dwell in the mind.

ਨਾਨਕ ਆਪਿ ਅਮੇਉ ਹੈ ਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਮਾਇ ॥

naanak aap ameo hai gur kirapaa te rahiaa samaae |

O Nanak, He Himself is infinite; by Guru's Grace, He is known to be permeating and pervading everywhere.

ਆਪੇ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਮਿਲਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਆਪੇ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਆਇ ॥੧॥

aape miliaa mil rahiaa aape miliaa aae |1|

He Himself comes to blend, and having blended, remains blended. ||1||
